The Logical Song

- Supertramp

When I was young,

it seemed that life was so wonderful,

A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.

And all the birds in the trees,

well theyd be singing so happily,

Joyfully, playfully watching me.

But then they send me away

to teach me how to be sensible,

Logical, responsible, practical.

And they showed me a world

where I could be so dependable,

Clinical, intellectual, cynical.

There are times

when all the worlds asleep,

The questions run too deep

For such a simple man.

Wont you please,

please tell me what weve learned

I know it sounds absurd

But please tell me who I am.

Now watch what you say

or theyll be calling you a radical,

Liberal, fanatical, criminal.

Wont you sign up your name,

wed like to feel youre acceptable

Respecable,

presentable, a vegtable!

(............... Music ..............)

At night, when all the worlds asleep,

The questions run so deep

For such a simple man.

Wont you please,

please tell me what weve learned

I know it sounds absurd

But please tell me who I am.

Who I am, who I am, who I am

(............... Music ..............)
